Dr. Roy Schwarzman, UNCG Professor of Communications was my guest. His also a contributing faculty member in the Peace & Conflict Studies Department at UNCG.  Roy and I discussed the contemporary definition of news, journalism, "fake news" propaganda and confirmation bias.  

I outlined that in my experience of recent interviews with individuals in our area, many members of the public report watching the "news" channel that they agree with more.  Many further believe that what they are presented has been held to a journalistic standard.  I asked Roy to define how many sources constitute a journalistically sound "fact," and whether such facts should be subject to multiple sources for verification.  

I asked Roy if he thought that the FCC should regulate what is billed as "news" which is often mistaken as journalism, when in fact, many networks and political pundits present programs from political perspectives.
